NOTE: this lunch meeting is open for fe/male scientists from University Twente.

The need for diversity (gender, cultural and other) is accepted, and it is easier to only come up with policies and acknowledge that this is important –practice is the difficult one. How do you put your awareness in practice?

In this discussion, we will focus on best practices of inclusion, and pay attention to examples of exclusion and how to deal with them in a positive way.

Creating an inclusive culture takes time, having a dialogue is necessary. Experiencing inclusion or exclusion is not just a matter of measurement and data, it involves personal experiences, and a diversity of possible perceptions. The best way to create a new culture is to co-create it together.

Arielle Brouwer, leadership & communication trainer, career & life coach, and facilitator of innovation, will facilitate the dialogues.
